Lochia discharge rotten meat-like picture

After giving birth, women will have postpartum lochia discharge, and when postpartum lochia is just discharged, it is considered stubborn postpartum lochia. Pregnant women must pay attention to the condition of postpartum lochia at all times. If any abnormalities are found, they should seek medical attention immediately and actively seek treatment. So, is it normal for a woman to have lochia and rotten flesh discharged after giving birth?

It is abnormal if rotten flesh is discharged from the lochia of female postpartum women. If the lochia of a woman contains rotten meat and placenta-like substances, it is very likely that there are still embryos and placenta remaining in the uterus, which can easily cause internal bleeding and requires immediate treatment in the hospital. At this time, it is often accompanied by persistent postpartum lochia that lasts for a long time, is large in amount, and has a foul odor.

The total volume of lochia discharged by women after giving birth is about 500-1000mL under normal circumstances. Although it has a fishy smell, it is not easy to have a fishy smell. If the stubborn lochia has not subsided or has an odor 4 days after delivery, it is considered an abnormal phenomenon. When postpartum lochia occurs abnormally, it is also accompanied by symptoms of fever and chills.

If a woman finds abnormalities in her lochia during childbirth, she may have postpartum infection, which can easily lead to endometritis and myometritis. At this time, symptoms such as fever, lower abdominal pain, increased lochia and foul odor will appear. And the color of postpartum lochia will also change and become very turbid.
